C1 Luke Vibert - Juxtafication

An atmospheric double 12 inch pack with eleven serene ambient and IDM tracks by German producer Alexander Potthof aka Rave Angst. The vibe is moody and production is crisp with lots going on to keep your brain busy. It really feels like we’re entering Potthoff’s soul - he definitely did not hold back as this is deeply emotional and - let’s face it - often apocalyptic sounding music. The unsettling melodies on the album are strangely held together by metallic sounding rhythms but only just…  Rave Angst really challenges the listener on this album. It’s all high quality stuff with 1994, Sunday Morning Self-Medication Acid and Burning Cars Acid being our personal favorites. [ALBUM TITLE] is a massive recommendation for anyone into mid 90s Aphex Twin and early Plastikman. Essential stuff.

When I first met Aypvpi back in 2019, he was a memorable person as soon as I met him. First impression, he dresses very loudly. Second impression, he's a great dancer. As you can imagine, this is the type of energy that helps any party atmosphere. He was a mutual friend of APA regular Val, so it was easy to connect right away. This was back when we were doing APA parties at Silk City pre pandemic. Once the pandemic hit, we lost touch for a bit.

We eventually reconnected on social media, and I noticed he had been almost non stop playing after parties and unique warehouse setting gigs around Philly. He certainly had been practicing, but I still hadn't seen him spin live yet. I felt his vibe was just right for APA, so I booked him to play our January 2023 APA party.

Well, he blew the roof off with a very bangin', jackin' tech house set. And of course, he was dressed to impress. After I heard that, I of course had to ask him to do a podcast for our APA series.

This month, Ayopvpi delivers a fun-side-of tech house mix for your listening pleasure. I envision the setting for this mix is a tropical beach location while the sun is setting from evening into night. Even if you're not by a beach when listening to this mix, I'm certain you'll catch a groove or two with the funky bounce of this set. Enjoy!

Ancient Puzzle Arts Podcast #27: AYOPVPI's Easy Breezy Selection

Rinse FM Podcast - Plastician - 25th July 2014

The track is called "Roswell Diner", and it's built around a 70 year old track called "Sophisticated Lady" by Russ Garcia. I heard it randomly somewhere and loved the vocals as they were so evocative of that optimistic period after WW2 when we had a very particular style of music known as "exotica", or "lounge", used in cartoons like Top Cat, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, and TV shows like The addams family, Star Trek ,Bewitched etc.....It's very difficult to describe, but you know when you hear it, and the vocals in particular are very typical. . The only way I can describe it is 1950s vintage futurism. If you've played the playstation game "Fallout" you'll be kinda familiar with it. 

I loved the track so much that I wanted to put a modern spin on it and try to accentuate what I thought was great about it. 
In the course of that, it became something very different to the original but still retained that 50's feel. I then thought of something that typified 50s Americana, and for me, it was Roswell, and that whole 50s sci-fi optimism ......dreams of future jetpacks and flying cars, and the drive-in cinemas showing B movies like "attack of the 50ft aliens from Mars" while a waitress on rollerskates, chewing bubblegum, brought your burger and fries. Thus, "Roswell Diner" was born.

One of the reasons why I love this track so much is that I have the chance to give Mr.Garcia's track a second life. The original is long forgotten about, but I love the thought of restoring it and passing it on for a new generation of people to find.
Maybe in another 70 years people will find my version and do the same =)

I don't want to make money from the track, and it's a free download. I hope you'll give it a listen.

I wish I could have sent the track to Mr. Garcia, but he sadly passed away in 2011, which I've only just found out, so I dedicate this to his memory. Rest in peace Mr. Garcia.

For those who were interested in the technical aspects.....No arpeggiators / sequencers were used. The bass was manually prohrammed as always.

The set we played at St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation And Peace, London, back in November 2023 with our friends at FishFest Productions is now live! ✌️

We had a blast playing this set, and really loved the reactions we got from the crowd, it was such an epic rave! We experimented quite heavily here, dipping into a wide variety of sounds ranging from electro, techno and breakbeat to drum and bass, IDM & electronica. 🎧

The venue was sick too; raving and performing in a church was a new and genuinely amazing experience for us! Gonna be aiming to hopefully play at similar venues in the future. 🙏💒
